About Chevre Sully
Chèvre Sully is a renowned high-end semi-vegetable tanned goatskin leather line from the Alran S.A.S tannery (Tarn, France, established 1903). With over 120 years of goatskin tanning mastery, Sully is the world's top choice for luxury fashion houses for linings and exteriors of fine handcrafted goods.
Technical specifications & world-standard characteristics:
- Hand-boarded grain (Chagrin / Hand-boarded grain): A unique natural pebbled grain achieved through traditional hand-boarding techniques, creating a subtle luster and sharp grain definition that no other leather line can replicate.
- Unmatched goatskin fiber toughness: Goatskin is thin and lightweight, yet its dense, interwoven fiber structure delivers vastly superior tensile and tear strength compared to cowhide at the same thickness, with zero edge sagging.
- Temper: Firm (firm, full in the hand).
- Edge finishing: Multi-layer edge paint or folded edge (French edge).
Optimal applications for leather crafters:
- Wallet linings and luxury bag interiors: The gold standard for card pocket linings and high-end handbag interiors.
- Exteriors for small leather goods: Bifold wallets, passport covers, high-end earphone cases, refined watch straps.
💡 The Kit Leather advantage: Rich Sully color palette. Flexible cutting from 3 pia (30×30 cm). 100% FREE splitting on a 40 cm machine to your exact target thickness (0.4–0.6 mm). Fast 1–2 hour delivery within Ho Chi Minh City.
